Individual Therapy

Adult and teen embracing – trauma-informed virtual therapy in Indiana & Illinois

Individual therapy, also known as talk therapy, is a supportive space where you can share openly, reflect deeply, and initiate the process of healing and growth. I primarily work with adults and teens who are navigating challenges such as:

  • Self-esteem

  • Trauma 

  • Anxiety 

  • Depression 

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationship challenges (family, friendships, or romantic)

  • Life transitions

  • Stress management and burnout

  • Personal growth and empowerment

  • Women’s issues

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): noticing the unhelpful thoughts that pop up and learning how to shift them.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): building real-life skills to manage emotions, set boundaries, and stay grounded.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): making peace with what you can’t control while focusing on what matters most to you.

  • Narrative Therapy: looking at your story in a new way and finding the strength and meaning within it.

  • Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT): highlighting your strengths and focusing on the small steps that move you forward.

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI): helping you find your own motivation and confidence to make changes.

  • Strengths-Based Approach: recognizing the resilience and abilities you already bring to the table.

  • Trauma-Informed Care: creating a safe, respectful space that honors your experiences and helps you feel empowered.

I use a mix of approaches because everyone’s journey is different. Here are some of the ways I can support you:
